So finally finished the last 10% of this book after a bit of a long pause. I was thoroughly enjoying this one as much as the others. Speeding through it until we got to the aftermath of the mother part. It just seemed to lose steam after that major plot point was done. Then we were back to school trivial stuff and the confusion of what was going through Scythe's head. Even having finished it, I don't understand what exactly his plan was. Honestly, from the beginning I think this character was too complex for the author. Maybe the wrong words. But the mafia aspects were never handled with any kind of believability. Then his thoughts, actions were clear as mud. This being 'his' book should've cleared all of that up but it did only a partial job for me. IT explained osmewhat why he is the way he is but not why he was so against her being their mate. And even afterwards why

he left the way he did.

What was he trying to accomplish. The dragon mate made a bit more sense here though. Unfortunately, that cliffhanger ending was also confusing because what was she trying to do? Also, wondering how the last mate is going to be handled. Anyway, this is my first Why Choose in a looooong time. And I think the first dark romance one. So I am intrigued to see where this goes.
